From single pieces to full crew runs, Calimesa gets screen printed gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
The workhorse method: vibrant plastisol or water-based ink pressed through mesh, one color at a time. Best price per shirt at volume and prints that survive hundreds of washes. For Calimesa, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 11,000 people spread over 14.9 square miles, Calimesa gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Yucaipa, CA (3 mi), Cherry Valley, CA (5 mi), Mentone, CA (6 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. March Air Reserve Base, around 20 miles from Calimesa, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Calimesa.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of California mixes Calimesa crews with neighbors like Yucaipa, 3 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
One design across the whole formation, printed at pack pricing that drops as the count climbs. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Crew tees built for daily abuse: heavy blanks, cured ink, and reorders that match exactly. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Fundraiser tees where the committee knows its margin up front, because every pack price is public. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Mixed youth and adult sizes in one run at one pack price. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Reunion gear that gets the year right, drawn in-house and printed for every generation at once. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Giveaway runs engineered to a number: budget blank, single color, maximum count. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Calimesa customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
Part of the job is refusing bad orders. When the art, the garment, or the date is wrong, saying so before you pay is the service.
The Design Lab puts your art on the real garment, takes your size counts, and totals the whole order, shipping included, without asking who you are.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Calimesa customers, these three earn their keep.
The standard. 5.3oz heavy cotton in more than 80 colors including military green, sand, and every heather. Holds shape wash after wash. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
An 8.0oz fleece crew with a clean uninterrupted front, the best canvas we stock for big crests and old school block lettering. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Big-run economics start here: light ringspun cotton from $12 at volume, with the front print already in the price. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Half the orders we take begin as a phone photo of a sketch, an old shirt, or a sentence describing the idea. A designer turns that into print-ready vector art at no charge, sends the proof inside 24 hours, and revises it until you sign off in writing. Nothing is produced before that signature, which is why what shows up matches what you expected.

Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
Within 24 hours you have a proof in your inbox, drawn to size, on the garment and color you picked. Revisions are unlimited and free.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Delivery to Calimesa addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
Absolutely. Bulk is where pack pricing shines, and big mixed-size runs ship counted against your roster with a single person accountable for the date.
The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
There are no returns on custom orders; once printed, the work is final. That is exactly why production never starts without your written approval of a free proof, and why the size roster deserves a second look before you submit.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Calimesa crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
